The Manual step creates a task for the assigned group, and blocks until the task is either approved or rejected (either through the release dashboard or via the REST API). This is useful when there are manual steps which must be performed in between automated steps executing within a stage.

Field	Description
Step Name	The name of the step.
Description	An optional description for the step.
Assigned Role	The pipeline role which is assigned to this manual step.
Estimated Duration	Estimated time (in minutes) to complete the task. Informational only.
Precondition	An optional Groovy script which determines whether the gate or step is applicable during execution. The script has access to variables and methods listed in the expression drop-down. The script must return true if the gate/step is applicable, or false otherwise. If no script is provided, the default is to return true (applicable).
Continue	If checked, any failure will be ignored, and the pipeline execution will continue.
Notify Pipeline Role	Selects one or more roles from the pipeline definition to notify in case of error. Default role members are defined on the pipeline, and optional overridden for each release.

Completing manual steps via the REST API is not supported at this time.

Script Variables

Optionally, a Groovy script can be written for any Subject, Message, and Precondition fields. The script has access to the following variables and methods listed in the expression drop-down.

Variable	Description
ReleaseName	Name of the release provided when created
SnapshotName	Name of the snapshot (auto generated by date and time when created)
SnapshotDuplicateFilesFlag	True if there are duplicate files in the snapshot
SnapshotDescription	Description of the snapshot
StageExecutionId	ID of the execution
